This dissertation would not have been possible without the prodigious, incomparable, heuristic and great help of my supervisor, Professor Titular. Ignasi Navarro i Ferrando, who stood close to me every step, whenever I needed, and provided everything necessary for the progress of my thesis. Many thanks go, too, to Renata Geld, Head of the English Department at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Zagreb, Croatia, who, very conventionally conduced promising facilities during my Research Stay, there. Certainly, there's also a place here to thank the head of the English Department and many of my colleagues at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Tirana, Albania, who willingly shared with me very useful scientific knowledge throughout the days while at work. I would also like to thank the representatives of the University departments of Jaume I, who were always ready in fulfilling and replying many of my queries while working on my dissertation. Last but not least, as the saying goes after Shakespeare, I would like to thank my father and especially my mother who, although resting in peace, were a strong encouragement and along with my two most loving daughters Estrea and Nejmia renewed and shaped my previous and actual scientific information in the field of linguistics by giving me peace, love and tenderness. On the whole, I would like to thank everyone who in a way or another finds this work useful and serves them hereafter.

In this article, a semantic-syntactic analysis of prepositions and conjunctions in the English language with the semantics of precedence is presented. The research objective is to determine the features of the functioning of prepositions and conjunctions in the English language involved in representing the category of precedence. A set of prepositions and conjunctions of temporal semantics implementing the studied meaning has been identified in the paper. The scientific novelty lies in identifying the dominant functions of a preposition or conjunction as non-verbal means of expressing temporality, particularly the meaning of precedence, in determining the temporal meaning of the statement. The obtained results revealed that in the English language, the potential for representing precedence by prepositions and conjunctions is determined by their combinability. Prepositions of precedence are differentiated by types of precedence: 1) immediate precedence (till and until); 2) distant precedence without obligatory localization (before); 3) precedence to a specific moment in time without a zone of distance (by). Prepositions more often express precedence to an explicit time interval, while conjunctions represent precedence to an event described in a subordinate clause, and implying an interval. The specificity of the English language lies in the homonymy of prepositions and conjunctions of precedence.
